Gradescope - https://gradescope.com | Berkeley, CA | full time | ONSITE Assessment in education is broken -- instructors spend hours grading, and yet don't get a clear picture of what their students are struggling with. Gradescope lets instructors give out the same paper-based assignments they've always used, but then grade them online, while keeping track of the exact mistakes made by every student on every question. This enables unprecedented data analytics: we can reveal which concepts a student needs help with, or which questions are too difficult. To top it off, instructors finish grading in half the time. Our product has been used to grade over 8 million questions belonging to over 100,000 students. We recently raised a seed round, and are hiring a full-stack engineer to join our team of 6. We offer market-rate salary with generous equity. We've got a Rails backend with some React on the frontend. If you’re interested, please email jobs@gradescope.com.
